...what car?

In my daydream I want to leave Britain. Head north and drive through sweden and Finland, head south through Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, visit family in Poland and head east. I'd go to Kazakhstan but avoid the other stan country's and any places I'm likely to be blown up. Perhaps dip into Nepal and India then across into Thailand and meander around that area of Cambodia/Vietnam etc.. It would be nice to nip across to the Philippines and the other islands but I'd also be happy to drive up to hong kong then into Japan. Drive north to the road of bones like Ewan and his silly friend then give the car to a local and board a plane to Alaska where I would get something suitably American to smoke back home and plan my next trip.

My first weapon of choice is a LWB defender with some sort of bed in the back or a roof top tent. Of course it would have knobbly tires and a snorkel.

Second choice is a vw transporter 4motion/synchro thing with full on camping conversion.

The wild card is between a Bedford rascal or Mazda mx5.
